Wearable Technology (Smart Watches): Samsung Gear S2

TWICE VIP Award 2016 Winner! With its sleek design, rotating bezel and notifications at-a-glance, the Gear S2 keeps a user dialed in to every moment. The first Samsung smart watch compatible with most Android smartphones, the Gear S2 enables 3G/4G connectivity that lets users call, text, email, use GPS navigation, make payments and receive notifications, even when the phone isn’t nearby. At just 11.4mm thin, the Samsung Gear S2 intends to bring a light and compact design to a user’s wrist. It offers a vibrant viewing experience because of its 1.2-inch circular screen and its 360 by 360 resolution (302 ppi). The applications on the Gear S2 can be viewed with clarity and with the latest Tizen OS and a 1-GHz dual core processor, the Samsung Gear S2 can perform tasks easily and efficiently. New fitness functions, such as the 24-hour activity log, lets users view activity progress and send reminders to motivate users to stay with their goals. All of these connected features will be supported by a battery that can last up to two to three days, allowing consumers to stay connected without constantly having to recharge. With two options available – the Gear S2 and the Gear S2 classic – this smart watch appeals to users who prefer a timeless watch design or those on-the-go who have an admiration for minimal, modern design. Now, users can even customize their watch bands and faces, making it a complement for any occasion, easily taking users from day to night and from work to workout. It will be available Oct. 2.
